Multiple wake words and pipelines

[craggy nebula]

Hi
I'm having trouble getting the new multiple wake words/pipelines features working with my esp32 based voice assistant. I'm using ESPHome (2025.10.0) with the. latest home assistant (core: 2025.10.2, supervisor: 2025.10.0). Unfortunately, the UI configuration shows wake word and wake word 2 select interfaces grayed out (even though I have two assistants) - unlike the screen shot in https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2025/10/01/release-202510/#hello-hola where okay nabu and hey jarvis are both selectable.

I've tried:

1. Using microwakeword for on device detection - both wake words are detected, but they trigger only the first assist pipeline.

2. Using open wake word on the pipelines with continuous streaming - again just the first assist pipeline wake word is used.

Could someone point me to a YAML or setup guide that shows how to get each wake word to trigger a different pipeline?

Thank you

might be better off asking on the ESPHome discord

however you could
look at the voice-pe firmware or maybe the AE firmware which is more simple but not updated in a while so i dont know its fully compatable i havent messed with the AE in months

posting your esphome yaml is likely a useful step too...
